Things to Come & New Finds

Well friends, this is going to be short and sweet. Yup. Good ‘ol Mal (Malware that is). He must like Cotter Crunches cause apparently he has been stealing bites all week. Okay, sarcasm aside… my site has malware and my friends at sitelock are fixing it. Not sure I’ll be able to get into wordpress for a few days while they fix it.

But you know what? I’m kinda okay with it. I needed a break really. I need to tend to other things and play catch up on life happenings, Healthy Bites, appointments, WIFE roles.

But I won’t leave you empty handed. In fact, I’ll leave you with a few new finds and an inside scoop of some things to come.

And Love Grown Granola. I know, it’s not new, but they do have a new product coming out!! The big reveal is November 20thon instagram! You must stayed tuned. You’re gonna love it. I’ll give you a few hints.

- It provides long-lasting, sustainable energy

- It is vegan

- It only contains only FIVE or SIX ingredients…all of which you can read and pronounce!

- Each serving has only 3-4.5 grams of fat

Oh then there’s these.

Yup, that would be 4 free Oikos Frozen Yogurt coupons and $25 Whole Foods Market Gift certificate. Yup, gonna give some of that goodness away once this blog is up and running again.

You know what I’m hoping? I’m hoping that whoever wins the $25 gift card uses it to pay it forward. Like buy and share a meal with someone at the hot bar, send groceries to those affected by Sandy, you know… pay it forward. Just a thought. Ponder that while you sit and wait for the giveaway, ok?.

I like what you said about using the gift card, I never would have thought to do that, but if I go to a certain whole foods there is always at least one person asking for money outside. I could get them a meal! I always think to, I guess I just feel too awkward being like: here’s some food… Haha and of course in the back of my mind I’m thinking: what if they have some dietary restrictions?!?

I love the idea of using a gift card to pay it forward! Someone just told me a story about a cashier who was checking out a large family before close and agreed to stay open for one more customer. While the large family was unloading their cart he slipped to the front and payed for their haul. If she hasn’t stayed open for the guy that family would have receive that help. I love those “everything for a reason” moments.

I can’t wait to hear about the new product from Love Grown! I love their granola! Can’t wait to hear what the new product is…and hopefully I’m relocated in Arizona by Dec and can test it out right away!

Lindsay. Can the pumpkin spice chocolate chip bites be the bite of the month every month? OH EM GEE. They are seriously amazing! Last night as I was laying in bed and couldn’t sleep (at 3:30 ugh) I was thinking about taking your card to my gym to tell people about you and then I thought everyone would want to try them first and I’d have to share my stash! And that ain’t happenin’ You are truly amazing!

I love this post and the yummy finds! I LOVE oikos frozen greek yogurt!!! the vanilla is my absolute favorite! I have mixed it with a little chobani vanilla chocolate chip yogurt and it tastes so good together with a few strawberries on top, little sundae of sorts! And love the idea and premise behind paying it forward. Completely agree with you!! What a great way to do it, too. PS boo on the spam but YAY on the time away for other, very important things XO

I have my eye on the coconut tea. Looks like it would be good. Glad they have some GF muffin tops! I love Vitatops so I am sure they are just as good. My brain hurts, too, friend.. but I don’t look nearly as cute about it.

Take the time away from the computer! I’m sure it will be a nice little break anyways! Sorry about the troubles, frustrating when those things happen. Sometimes being unplugged can be a blessing in disguise since it allows us to appreciate all the beauty around us and see that beauty through our two eyes, instead of through a screen or lens. Yum! Ginger flaxseed spread!!

My brain hurts too – sentences have become hard. I’ve actually decided to take the day off from blogging (don’t tell my brain that I’m still visiting my favorite blogs) and it’s such a welcome relief to get some time off. As much as I love to write, it’s definitely nice to step away for a while. Hope you’re enjoying your time off!

I love your suggestion for the gift card! I try to use that same idea whenever I find money (like on the ground)… I donate it or give it to someone… I figure it’s gotta be good karma and you never know if it could be the dollar, or ten, that someone really needs! My husband thinks I’m a little nutty, but I just feel better giving found $ away

I wish I could get my hands on that kombucha LOL! The other stuff looks good too. I need to try Love Grown Granola… looks so amazing! And I love your idea of the gift card use and helping people from Sandy… good one friend! Good luck on the malware(yuck!) but enjoy your break!

you have such wonderful ideas, Linds! you know what I did on Monday? I sent all of my gift cards (and I bought more to send…) and all of my FREE coupons for food items – sent those to two different friends who lost everything. I am so heartbroken right now for that area, and wish I could be there.

I love this post and your finds! Coconut milk/tea mix sounds delicious!! Such a fabulous idea about paying it forward with the $25 gift certificate. You are such a kind soul. Enjoy the break and tell the malware to kick it.
